3.0 out of 5 stars my son loves this to pieces, literally, October 24, 2004

By	YinYang (SoCal, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a charming little book for an Elmo fan and dog lover (as my toddler is). He adores turning the pages and lifting the flaps and seeing familiar images like Elmo, Dorothy the goldfish, and other habitues of Elmo's crayon-rendered domain. The narrative is pretty much what you would hear Elmo say on a segment of Sesame Street.

However -- like all the books in the Elmo's World series, these are pretty flimsy, much lighter cardboard than most board books or even other lift-the-flap books, so despite my best efforts at supervision and gentle guidance, my son has ripped off most of the flaps in this book and the other Elmo's World books we have. So the book is now not so much fun and the small pieces of cardboard present a pretty serious choking hazard. I have tried repairing them, but glue doesn't work very well and tape presents an even worse choking risk.

At the price, I consider the books in this series semi-disposable and haven't minded that they only last a month or two. I won't be buying any more, though, simply because there are so many better board books out there -- superior in construction/durability, tactile experiences, illustration, and story/language development.

By	"sjupton17" (Euless, TX) - See all my reviews

This book is a must have for any parent of a toddler that loves Elmo and also loves dogs! My 15 month old can't get enough of this book! The hidden pictures are a plus too! Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars How could you go wrong with doggies???, February 23, 2006

By	Shawnamarie Fritzler "Morgansmom" (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great one for a 15 month old, especially if they like dogs, quick read and a "door" to open on each page. It took us a LONG time to get past the first page though since we had to really study the puppies. It was a while before she realized there were doggies on the other pages too since she loves to look at doggies so much.
